Scanning and renaming creates wrong filenames

Post by Zonky »

Hi!

I've activated rescanning and using auto-organizing to move my files from a download folder to specific folders and subfolders.
The template for mp3 files is: G:\michael\Music\MP3\<Album>\<Song#:2> <Artist> - <Title>

While this worked perfectly for MM4 it still does for MM5, however, today I noticed that some files did get the wrong filename.
E.g. .\VA\Song#2 Aced Of Base - Bad Dad.mp3 or .\Bummerland\Song#2 Ajr - Bummerland.mp3.

The properties of those files do show a track number though.
While adding about 70 files today, using the same procedure as always, I did not see such a behavior.

So what did go wrong?

I cannot say for sure if this is due to a missing track number formerly. Maybe I re-tagged those files and the track number got filled up. However, I guess this was not the case.

Thank you!

Did this change with MM5? It perfectly worked with MM4 before...

No, it was <Track#> with MediaMonkey 4 too. Maybe <Song#> was still available from older versions or from using a different language.

Either way works.
